An exceptional tribute to 50 years of craftsmanship!
Created by Master Blender Lorena Vásquez, this limited edition celebrates 50 years of Zacapa's excellence through a unique expression of Guatemalan rum. This exceptional release combines the brand's signature style with an innovative finishing process in casks heated in the presence of roasted cocoa and Cobán chili peppers, delivering remarkable aromatic depth and complexity.
Crafted from virgin sugar cane honey and aged in the Guatemalan highlands using the renowned Solera system, this rum offers a perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and toasted notes. A prestigious creation designed for discerning rum enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The journey begins with the fermentation of virgin sugar cane honey, Zacapa's signature raw material. Following distillation, the rum is transferred to aging warehouses located more than 2,300 meters above sea level, where the mountain climate promotes a slow and distinctive maturation process.
The aging takes place through the dynamic Solera system, using a succession of casks that previously held:
- American whiskeys
- American white oak barrels subjected to additional charring
- Pedro Ximénez sherry casks
Only rums aged for a minimum of 8 years are selected for the final blend. This limited edition then undergoes an exclusive finishing period in American oak barrels specially heated in contact with cocoa and Cobán chili peppers, developing complex notes of roasted cocoa, sweet spices, and toasted oak.
Finally, the blend rests for several months in oak vats, allowing the flavors to harmonize perfectly before bottling.
This exceptional rum is best enjoyed neat in a tasting glass to fully appreciate its rich complexity. It also pairs beautifully with intense dark chocolate or a premium cigar.
